1999 Tahoe FUEL PUMP CONNECTOR
 
Can anyone help to confirm the way the new wires connect to new version GT280 connector with the supplied wire harness upgrade on the new fuel pump. Of course the wires are not equally color coded: Blk, Blk, Purp, Gray vs. new Blk, Gray, Purp, Orange. It would make sense for most although I would hate to burn up the brand new Pump just installed. I guess the only concern is the Orange assuming it connects to Blk, can anyone confirm?
Thanks and Happy Holidays!

Evaporative Vapor Return Lines
 
Additionally, for anyone else who may have completed this extremely easy task (NOT) when lowering the Fuel Tank to reach the front Evaporative Lines (assumption) I kinked the line that mounts to the frame rail, how critical will this be and will it cause problems running or any ECM issues ?

Obviously it was close to impossible to remove these with the tank still bolted in place, not sure there was any easy way to do this without damaging it?

Oh Well, any help greatly apprecaited.
Thanks again.

Put all the same colors together black and orange do go together. Do your best to un-kink the line;. If it has a hole in it or flow is greatly reduced you will get a check engine light

When I did my sisters Suburban the new pump came with instructions/ diagram for the upgraded wiring....did you get OEM parts or after market?

Got the aftermarket Carter Unit, no detailed instructions. I matched up the Orange to Black and it fired right up. No drips, no runs, no errors and no Check Engine light, guess I did good. Hopefully this unit lasts another 175k miles then I will be really happy!
Thanks for the input.
